What car does your Nanna drive?

[FreeLitres]

Inspired by a misread thread title, what car does your Nana drive?

My gran doesn't drive anymore, but a few years ago she had a pristine gold Nissan Cherry with furry beige seat covers!

What about your Gramps?

[CampDavid]

Neither have ever held a licence.

Grandad 1 passed away in 1987 having owned a variety of fine used Volvos
Grandad 2 passed away around four years ago. He had a Metro

Both kept there cars in fine condition.

1994 Automatic Mini. Comments that it "handles like it's on rails"... She likes using the horn too.

[hesnotthemessiah]

Toyota Yaris

My Nan drives a 2004 Celica. She's had it from new and its done about 10,000 miles going to and from the shops throughout its entire life time!

Before that she had an XR4i (again from new). Not bad for over 70

[FreeLitres]

XR4i?!

Perhaps there sould be a competition for the most PH Grandparent!

(Actual PH'ers need not apply - MBH)

Its not even like she's a car person. She never gets above 2000 rpm and she really does drive like a Nanna!

The car she had before the XR4i was a Ford Capri John Player Special (much before my time btw).

I've got a cool Nan

My grandfather passed away some years ago, but he used to have quite an interesting selection of cars, including an E-Type amongst various other Jags (the details of which I don't know being too young to recall at the time), a Mk1 Scirocco Storm from new (the rare 4-speed manual before they changed to a 5-speed), a Mk2 Scirocco and a Mk1 Golf for my grandmother, and a Mercedes 190E.

Likewise my grandfather on my dad's side had an E-Type from new at one point which I believe was later purchased by one Engelbert Humperdink, and a Mk2 Scirocco.

We've always had an interesting selection of motors in the family.

The last car my grandma owned was a NSU Prinz 4. White with red leather. It was a very cool little car

I bloody hate the word nanna/nana/nan when referring to your grandmother! Lol.

My grandma drives a 1 series BMW coupe (has had 3 series for ever, but feels the 3 is now too big for her). New BMW for her every 3 years.

Her husband, my grandpa has had a new 7 (BMW, not caterham ) every 3 years, but now has a 5 as the new 7 doesn't fit in the garage.

My granny has a 1 series BMW cabriolet and had a 530d m-sport touring for 5 years and a merc SL500 (just sold the last 2)

Her husband died 4 years ago. He used to drive a gorgeous Daimler.

All kept in pretty good nick for most of their lives.

My memories start with a triumph 2000, followed by an accliam, followed by a 213s rover and finishing with a renault 21 txe which did 10 years service, 20k and 2 clutches.

[Jasandjules]

She doesn't drive.

[RedWhiteMonkey]

Both now dead. One didn't ever drive, the other drove an ambulance during the war and then never drove again afterwards.

[Pints]

Both have long since passed on, but the last cars they drove before they passed were:

Paternal: BMW 5-series
Maternal: Toyota Cressida

[thinfourth2]

A cloud as she is quite dead


Thankfully

I hate that bloody word "grandpa" it should be Grandfather.

[y2blade]

unfortunately no longer with us but she drove a Citroen C3 and was very assertive on the road, not scared to beep the horn

[maniac0796]

A 1.4 16V Corsa B. Doesn't move to badly either.

[marksx]

Neither have ever driven.

Both late Grandfathers have had various cars including Ladas, mk2 Astras and other such motoring bilge!

[Biker's Nemesis]

All my Grandparents are dead apart from my grandfather (94 years old)from my mothers side.

He drives a Kia.
